Editor's notes
The repo holds just two files: a .skill archive for importing into Claude or GPT (SKILL.md plus 5 reference docs) and an all-in-one .md to drag into Gemini or other chat tools. The workflow has 8 steps, from finding the core idea and synopsis through scene writing and a script-doctor pass, pausing after each step until the user replies with a command such as "pass". The series format starts with season planning and an episode outline, the files' typical setup is 8 to 24 episodes of 10 to 60 minutes each, and there is nothing specific to vertical short drama. The README says MIT but also forbids reselling the skill file, and the examples folder it mentions is not in the repo.
